Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant neoplasm that begins in the flat, thin squamous cells that line the epidermis of the skin and the respiratory tract, as well as the oral cavity, pharynx, and cervix. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a kind of skin cancer that can develop on any part of the body.
- Malignant tumors emerge when this type of cancer develops as a result of the unchecked proliferation of squamous cells. The risk of developing SCC increases with cumulative sun exposure, and the condition is most commonly found on sun-exposed parts of the body, including the face, ears, neck, scalp, and backs of the hands. It's not limited to only the tongue and palate, either.
Early detection and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma greatly improves the chances of a successful recovery. Tumor removal surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy may all be alternatives. Patients with SCC would benefit greatly from early discovery and treatment, therefore it's crucial that they keep a close eye on their skin and visit a doctor if they notice any suspicious lesions or changes.
